Hard to Explain: Recent Episodes
Ryoma & Mugiho
Welcome to "Hard to Explain". This is a small dialogue of 30 minutes where we talk about mental health at a more personal level. As human beings, we all need a place of small comfort where that can be small as sharing our own stories to big as creating conversations with others. We bring you our own personal stories, and maybe you can share yours too if you wanted. It's always hard to explain these things. But we're here to listen.
This week, we invite our first guest Natsumi! She is an International Development Consultant specialising in Gender Analysis and Private Sector Development. She shared us her experience and knowledge in feminism, identity and mental health and how we can create a place and opportunities for dialogue in a society that shames and dismantles our tool to speak up.
Our lovely guest, Natsumi's Profile: A Gender Specialist / Business Development Consultant in International Development. Loves to travel, drink coffee and binge watch Rupal's Drag Race.

Today, we discuss the "how". What do you do? How do you cope with that heavy emotions? What are the ways of dealing with other people around you during this time? We explore the different ways in which we cope in these situations by sharing our stories.

In this first episode, we introduce you to the reasons why we decided to create this platform of dialogue and sharing. By having conversations and revisiting our personal pasts to address where our mental health journey began, we talk about why it’s so important to have this place to tell stories without being judged and we invite you to join our small beginning of sharing.
